Led and delivered a remote project for a District Council, who, over an estimated 15-20 years, had underinvested in their ICT (Information and Communications Technology) infrastructure and solutions. Their applications were primarily on-premise and the support and maintenance for them, especially the key applications, had either expired or the knowledge was locked into one person – no information sharing had been undertaken. Moving forward, the Council wanted to take advantage of cloud solutions, to make future savings, but also to minimise risk regarding support and maintenance. It would also provide the Council with the ability to use solutions from any device (if connected to the Internet).
Using Agile methodology, I led a discovery exercise to understand what applications they had now (as-is), considering the technical architecture and the business outcomes needed in the future. Once this was understood, we researched the market for relevant cloud solutions (to be) that could be used. The result was a five year, fully costed digital roadmap, which gave the Council scope for investment.
